Anyone planning on being Team Green?

naturegirl417 · October 2009

DH and I keep wavering back and forth on finding out or not finding out the gender. I know it would be an awesome surprise, but we are both such planners. We have a while to decide, just curious if anyone else was leaning towards team green?

No way! I have to know!

Me too! Thank goodness I'll have one GP mama to find out around 20 weeks. Synch and LouRN are team green! I want to know now!

I am way too obsessive compulsive for that!

spartlin25 · October 2009

We are not finding out, it is just too much fun!! It will give me something to push for, plus my DH loves the idea of walking out into the waiting room and telling everyone!! It's great to see everyone reaction to the gender. My sister in law didn't find out and it was so much fun waiting for find out who we were about to meet...

Good luck and happy pregnancy!!

pinkitty · October 2009

I am on team Green!!

Bride2bMO · October 2009

Last time, we waited to find out. It was so worth it and DH loved telling ME what he was. " it's a boy!" is the most memorable thing from the day. We haven't discussed whether we'll wait again. But I'm glad we did last time.

wachs · October 2009

we are! I wanted to know but DH does not & its been something he has talked about pretty much the entire time I've known him so we aren't finding out Smile

LEE0908 · October 2009

I'm going green, if I can subdue my husband to wait. He already wants to know. And there is not an option of only him finding out, he will explode. I have a vision of the baby coming out and DH making the announcement like the PP. I think that would be so awesome! I just hope an u/s or some other factor doesn't give it away.

luna49 · October 2009

We are on Team Green. We wavered back and forth last time, and ended up not finding out. As PP stated, there was something so special about finding out at the time of delivery.

DH had originally wanted to find out with #1, but left it to me to choose. This time, I asked if he wanted to find out, and he said no. I think that says a lot about how we both viewed waiting.

BuckeyeWife07 · October 2009

Definitely team green. DH actually told me "you are on the internet too much" last night after I said "I'm team green all the way!" haha! Oh well! Stick out tongue

mrsnuss2b · October 2009

Team Green! It's the one surprise DH is willing to wait for...usually he convinces me to tell him every surprise I (or others) plan for him. We agreed on Team Green before we got married. But I completely understand wanting to know!

preppynewlywed · October 2009

Hellz no.

I prefer gender stereotyping...I need to know if I need a pink nursery and dolls or a blue nursery and soft sports toys.

t&screamer · October 2009

With DD we went green. I really wanted to know, but DH stood his ground with wanting to be surprised. So we made the deal that on #2 we would find out. Now DH has decided that he wants to be surprised again. I told him that he could step out of the room when we go for our 20 week when the US tech determines gender, because I am finding out - that was our deal. As a result, I will be the only one who's going to know the gender until the end. Hopefully I won't slip up and let the cat out of the bag before the baby is born.

tyler82407 · October 2009

I have a 12 year old that was a surprise, a 17 month old that we found out. Both girls. So we are waiting to be surprised again for this one. I enjoyed it so much more being surprised!!!! So yes team green for me!!!!

jorden&kristin · October 2009

we always said we'd wait until it was born to know! but then we got pregnant and that went STRAIGHT out the window. so we're going to know. our biggest reason is because this pregnancy was a total shock so we dont have a ton of money saved up and we dont want to have to go out after getting a bunch of presents, and have to buy gender specific clothes on our own!

lkf041 · October 2009

I'm on Team Green... again.? Keeping it a surprise was the best decision we made so of course we will be surprised again this time.??

SoldiersGreenBean · October 2009

We were on team green for DD, and we loved it!

I told DH that I've been surprised enough already this pregnancy. We'll likely be finding out.

kelleymark82606 · October 2009

Team Green all the way.

I'm sure as it gets closer to my 20wk sono, i'll want to know but DH will not let me since I've made it clear that I want to be surprised. He has a ton more will power than I do. I also figured if everything is smooth, it will be ONE day of temptation when we have that sono.

I'm looking forward to the big surprise.

synchrosally · October 2009

Team Green for me! DH is absolutely positive on his wishes. I'd like to wait too. Makes picking names harder because only Girls names are looking good. Boy will I be surprised if it's a boy.

jhansen3 · October 2009

Team Green Here!

jess60 · October 2009

Team Green here, too!!!

Isn't the surprise half the fun? Smile

Laxbugg1410 · October 2009

Team Green! DH and I already disagree on what it will be, so the next 6 months should be fun! I see a major bet in my future.

Plus, in terms of nursery decor/clothes, we're planning on getting gender neutral stuff so we can use it with future babies.

christin228 · October 2009

Team Green all the way!! I was team green for both of my kids, and will be for this one too. It's so much fun!!!

kdiguise · October 2009

We were Team Green last time and it was awesome! One of the best moments of my life when he came out and they said, "It's a BOY!!" This time around, DH REALLY wants to know, but I don't so we'll see what happens!

dstar · October 2009

I wish I had more will power but I can't wait. The weeks seem to be dragging until we find out, so waiting the 40 weeks is out of the question. We are even finding out early, 15 weeks, thanks to a friend who is giving it to me for my birthday.

MWoodside · October 2009

I don't wanna know the gender but DH is pushing to find out. We'll see.

Devonanne · October 2009

We are not finding out. I have always managed to run every big suprise in my life, This is the ultimate suprise and nobody can ruin it for me!

Meghan1017 · October 2009

We're on Team Green! I really want my husband to have that moment of telling our parents "It's a girl (or a boy)!" I usually hate surprises, but I really want to wait in this case. Plus I think it'll be a great motivator when I'm too tired for those last few pushes!

Rachelilly23 · October 2009

It would bother me too much not knowing. I'd be thinking about it ALL the time because I get too obsessive like that!

KeepingFaith · October 2009

We wont be finding out. I am such a planner so it surprises me that I want to wait. But I have heard from so many ppl that have waited, and they have all said it was worth the wait

naylon511 · October 2009

Team Green!

I never wanted to know, DH would like to but is fine with what I decide.

WGsMommyAdventure · October 2009

We are waiting. We are also keeping our name ideas from the family too. That way they find out everything in the hospital. The name, the sex. I can't wait!

lotsofbustles · October 2009

Go Team Green! It was so amazing when ds came out and my mom yelled, 'It's a boy.' I would never want to rob myself of that moment.

Caileyhc · October 2009

DH wants to know, his reasoning is 'if you can find out, why not...its going to be a surprise if you find out now, or at delivery'

I don't want to find out, if/when we have a 2nd we will likely find out, just so we know if we need to buy anything else

Team Green over here too!

My BIL and SIL tried to find out the sex of their baby about a month ago... the u/s tech said boy and the doc said girl so they still don't know. haha... I guess they're team green by force!

lollipop320 · October 2009

We are on Team Green again with this pregnancy. We both loved the suprise at the end. It was so worth everything to hear It's a boy at delivery. We want that surprise again!

tomkat35728 · October 2009

We are Team Green all the way. Neither one of us care for gender stereotyping and didn't want an all blue/pink baby shower. There is also plenty of cute baby gear out there that would be nice for a boy or girl, so it isn't that hard to find things that we like. We also have a pretty extensive list of names for either gender, so it's not like finding a name will be difficult...

For me, I think the idea of DH being able to break the news to me and our families is fantastic. That will be an awesome moment for him and I definitely want him to have it. He obviously isn't as connected to the pregnancy as I am, so any way that involves him in all of the excitement is a huge plus!

Sept17.05Bride · October 2009

I am also such a planner! When I was pregnant with DS, we didn't find out the sex. I LOVED not knowing! We won't find out the sex with this baby either. We just did the nursery in neutral colors, and bought everything else (carseat, swing, bouncer, etc) in gender neutral colors also. However, I didn't want to bring a baby home from the hospital and only have yellow or green clothes for the baby, so about a month before I had DS, I bought a bunch of gender specific clothes. I kept all of the clothes in the bags with the tags on, and I just returned all the girl clothes after he was born.

BriAZ · October 2009

I asked DH this the other night..

DH - I want to find out so I can start planning

Me - Planning for what exactly?

DH - whether I need to save up for a wedding (girl) or a bad ass car/truck (boy)

Me - Oh geez!

So I guess we will be finding out!

P.S.10 · October 2009

Team Green here! My husband and I are both excited for the "big reveal" in the delivery room. We have gotten a lot of flack from family members, though. My sisters are being especially pushy about finding out the sex.
